of accident in turn ran its own engine

The Crown Flint G lass Works closed
down Friday evening last for an indef-
mite time, thereby throwing nearly
two hundred Workmen out of employ

have gone to Minneapolis, Minn., to
engage in their business at that point,
and more are expected to follow soon.

be the case. The company has q very
large stock on hand and wish to dis
pose of it before manufacturing more.
